Command Ashore insignia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Command Ashore insignia is a breast insignia of the United States Navy and the United States Coast Guard.

[edit] United States Navy

In the U.S. Navy, the Command Ashore insignia is a gold metal, three-pronged trident device with a trident centered on an elliptically shaped laurel wreath. Formerly known as the Command Ashore/Project Manager insignia (or Command Ashore/Major Program Manager insignia), it is a breast insignia that recognizes the responsibilities and importance of command ashore and major program management.[1]

Officers below flag rank (captain and below) who have, or had, command ashore or served as a project manager wear the Command Ashore/Project Manager insignia. It is one of two badges known as Command Insignia; the other being the Command at Sea insignia. Officers wear this insignia in the same manner as that prescribed for the Command at Sea insignia.[2]

In the U.S. Coast Guard, the Command Ashore insignia is a gold and silver metal device with a miniature officer cap device superimposed on a wreath of gold oak leaves.[3] The Command Ashore insignia is worn in the same manner as the Command Afloat insignia and is considered superior to the Officer in Charge Ashore insignia.
